Until my colleagues alerted me to how this thread had deteriorated I was already thinking that it was time to close the Tower Bridge for good. There are some great items here from those who have good records and have shared them, but there is of late some terrible crap and inflammatory remarks - and personal attacks.
What needs to be learned is that the wealth of experience on this thread and hundreds of others too, are ripe for the taking and learning from. Instead, we get personal digs, which, quite rightly get put down. I can well understand FL's extreme irritation - I feel the same way.
Anyway, to take my colleagues step one stage further I am closing this thread and there will be no more about it. It can be looked at whenever but enough is enough.
As for stepping in to try oneupmanship, forget it! Its been tried many times and the loser lost!!
